Choosing the right assistive technology is essential for your clients’ well-being. Unicare Health offers two free trial services to help you make informed decisions: Showroom at Home™ and 3-Day Trial at Home. Here’s a quick guide to how each service supports your clinical assessments and improves client outcomes:
Showroom at Home™ vs 3-Day Trial
There is no cost for Unicare Health’s 3-Day Trial or Showroom at Home™ services. Both are free offerings designed to support therapists in making informed clinical assessments and achieving better outcomes for their clients.
Yes, therapists can use both services as needed.
In-home trials help therapists make informed recommendations by seeing how equipment performs in the client’s actual environment, improving clinical outcomes.
Summary of Key Differences
Both services are free, provide expert support, and are tailored to help clients and therapists make informed choices, but they differ in the type of products offered and the depth of the trial experience.
Yes, there is a significant difference in how long you can try items during Unicare Health’s 3-Day Trial versus Showroom at Home™ visits.
In summary, the 3-Day Trial offers a multi-day, in-depth trial of a single item, while Showroom at Home provides a shorter, guided session to try several items at once.
Absolutely! If the item your client is interested in isn’t available through the Showroom at Home™ van, they can still trial it using our 3-Day Trial service.
Trying before buying is essential to ensure the product is the right fit for your client’s needs, environment, and personal circumstances.
